I was chatting last night to a friend who is also doing a PhD, in an unrelated area, and we were discussing impact factors, citations, and so on. This got me thinking - what's the greatest "citation count", that is the number of times a particular article has been cited by other articles, that you've ever seen?

Post here, with a link to the paper/abstract if you can!

To start the ball rolling, here's mine...

Bradford M (1976). A rapid and sensitive method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of protein using the principle of protein-dye binding. Analytical Biochem 72, 248-254.

Times cited - 123,156

I can't play- this doesn't happen in Humanities :-(

I can tell you how many times my articles have been cited... 0. :-(

Tell me about it Jinkim! Another paper, published in the same journal and finding the same result (for a different gene but with same implications) has been cited multiple times already, while mine is ignored by everyone :-(
